Overview

edit

Trento reached the Top16 of the EuroCup Basketball and ended the round with no wins.

The 2019-20 season was hit by the coronavirus pandemic that compelled the federation to suspend and later cancel the competition without assigning the title to anyone.[1] Trento ended the championship in 9th position.
